The national deadline to sign up for health insurance under the Affordable Care Act has already passed. But in Oregon, persistent tech problems prompted the Governor to extend the final sign-up date by a month to April 30th. The Cover Oregon website is still not fully functional, although people can complete most of the application process on-line.

The website problems persist for the state's health insurance marketplace, Cover Oregon. Individuals can compare insurance plans, but the site still can't determine if someone is eligible for financial help.

This has been a source of frustration for potential customers - and for local organizations working on behalf of Cover Oregon to walk people through the process.

These community partners are counting down the days until the website is fully functional.
